<![CDATA[The phenomenon of cyberbullying is a form of bullying in the digital world that has become a serious concern for adolescents because it may affect psychological well-being, academic achievement, and social development. This study aimed to determine factors associated with cyberbullying behavior among active social media users at SMP Mutiara Bangsa Bandar Lampung in 2026. This quantitative study used a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 55 respondents selected using total sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Pearson Chi-Square test at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The analysis included duration of social media use, individual factors, parenting patterns, digital literacy, and cyberbullying behavior. The results showed a significant association between duration of social media use and cyberbullying behavior (p = 0.012; p < 0.05). Significant associations were also found for individual factors, parenting patterns, and digital literacy, each with p < 0.001. The findings indicate that cyberbullying among adolescents is associated with multiple individual, family, digital, and media-use factors. Educational institutions and parents are encouraged to strengthen digital literacy, supportive parenting, emotional assistance, and responsible social media use among adolescents.]]>
